Reggae

Does anyone (DubHertz) know of any good reggae bass lines??
I a newbie to the genre so i literally dont know ANYthing

Pippynip's a big reggae fan, he'll know some.

Myself, the only reggae I regularly listen to is Peter Tosh, but I don't know how to play any of his songs.

Reggae.

Here's a good one...



I'll leave the rest to DubHertz, but I will say that a lot of modern reggae (dancehall) re-uses beats. For example, if you learn to play Intoxication by Gentleman, you can play Be Strong by Sizzla.

Yeah, DubHertz might have more to add that's not in that thread. That thread covers technique and a couple of songs.

Intoxication by Gentleman

You are actually the first person i know that has heard of that song ^^

I was surprised when I found out he was German.

...Doesn't make sense somehow

i no
i was really suprised when i noticed he wasnt black...

For a minute or two I wondered if he was an albino...

In all fairness, there is another albino reggae musician called Yellowman

Just thought of one that might be good, perhaps a better starting point than Could You Be Loved. You'll have to learn it by ear though, shouldn't be too difficult...

They can also be Jewish

Apparently that video's blocked in my country.

I apologise in advance...

It was a yolk. Not eggsactly a funny yolk, but a yolk nonetheless. Henyway, how's your reggae bass playin' coming along?

havent had a chance to do much yet
busy with school and stuff
also my dads always asleep :/

LOL i completely missed this thread

How would you play this one Dub? I think it's in G Major starting on the E. I can't quite figure out the best way to do the slide. G, G(octave) then slide down to A? G/G\A? I dunno.

(probably the most indie-sounding reggae I've ever heard)

i can play it by ear but couldnt tell you the notes lol

and that song aint reggae

No, it isn't. It doesn't have the right vibe. Everybody else seems more than happy to call it "roots reggae" though so I'll go along with that until I know what genre it really is.

Do you know of any artists like Gregory Isaacs? I got the Night Nurse album and it's a scorcher.

well the only reggea i hear is probs bob marely so ya :/... like bob marely -no woman no cry- is nice and easy to and can be recognized by people xD soz if i didnt help much >.<

Do you know of any artists like Gregory Isaacs?

From that era look for Dennis Brown, Sugar Minott, Hugh Mundell, Lacksley Castell, Burning Spear, Twinkle Brothers, Jacob Miller, Horace Andy, Vivian 'Yabby You' Jackson, Barrington Levy, Beres Hammond, Johnny Clarke

That should keep you busy

...

Yeah. Yeah, I think it might I've only even heard of Hammond and Burning Spear.
